3H spent the morning exploring Leminkainen’s story. We heard the story, sang the songs and began to act it out. We were fantastic actors! Retelling the story and acting out each part brought the story to life.
In the afternoon, we explored how to create shadow puppets and use a projector. We used paper, pencil, plastic and pens to create the characters, objects and scenery at different parts of the story.
We worked collaboratively in small groups to create, direct and narrate a section of the story. We wrote a script together and retold the story using our shadow puppets.
During the process we discussed the shadows created using the language opaque, transparent and translucent.
Lastly, we performed our part of the story in our small groups to the class. Here are a few snapshots of our work.
